When you work in IT business I have noticed that it is better to not mention Amiga during lunch breaks etc, it is not that Amiga is bad, it is just that most people only know Amiga back when an A500 with 0.5 MB extra mem was luxury. These people can almost cry explaining how much fun they had with Populus and Ports of call, however discussing things about the Amiga not mentioning gaming leaves much to be desired.

I fondly remember how I expained to one tech guy how you could connect an Amiga to the internet, he did not believe there where TCP/IP stacks for the Amiga around lol.

The biggest issue though is that people do not take you seriously when you mention Amiga seriously, but yes sometimes I mention I have a couple of Amiga systems at my home worth three times as much as a good PC these days, the looks I get then lol...
